Oscar contenders will get to spend time at this Halkidiki resort

Featured Oscar contenders will get to spend time at this Halkidiki resort

The typical stereotype "Everybody is aWinner, What's important is Participation" is exactly right for the Oscars.

At least, this holds,  for their main categories, where more than 20 candidates will leave the room loaded with lots of gifts, whether at the end of the night they will take home the gilded statuette, or not.

In the last 17 events of the most prestigious film awards, a marketing company in Los Angeles has secured the permission to offer the 25 contenders of the most important awards - especially to actors and directors - a package, or "bag", with gifts, full of products and offers of all kinds. This year, as Forbes magazine points out, the famous bag will include about 100 prizes worth $ 100,000 (88,000 euros).

Travel to Halkidiki

According to the same magazine, which has managed to "decipher" 53 of the gifts to be shared by contenders, they range from simple everyday objects to luxury experiences.avaton

The most valuable gify is the $ 15-20,000 value journey, where celebrities are invited to choose between four destinations: Iceland, Galápagos Islands, Amazon, or a package for Costa Rica and Panama. For example, the excursion to Amazonia will include a cruise for observing rare birds, monkeys and turtles. That of Iceland will also include a cruise to various islands and the famous cliffs of the island, as well as a visit to the capital of Reykjavik.

But these are not the only trips included in the package: Among other things the offer includes Greece, as artists will be able to spend one week in luxurious villas in Halkidiki! The resort is none other tha the Avaton nestled close to Mount Athos.

And because celebrities are spoiled, they can enjoy a refreshing session of yoga, or sail by a yacht or fly in a helicopter and admire Mount Athos and swim in secret beaches.avaton1

Room rates for April start at 374 euros, while for June they range from 530 euros for the simplest villa to 1,200 euros for the Presidential Suite per night.
